LICHTROUTEN Project: Tape Lüdenscheid
Intervention: Sculpture
Location reference: Developed for a small forest in the city center
Participation: Walk-in sculpture
Image-production: Adhesive tape
The tendons of multiple layers of conventional transparent adhesive tape are firstly stretched in between a construction. The following continuous wrapping of tendons results in a complex, amorphous surface through the process reminiscent of growing of organic forms. The idea for the installation originates in a set design concept for a dance performance in which the form evolves from the movement of the dancers between the pillars. The dancers are stretching the tape while they move, so the resulting shape is a (tape) recording of the choreography. As a site-specific walk-in installation it was first realised in the year 2009. Since a spider web is one of the most obvious connotation you have when you see the work, it is a great pleasure to do it among trees because it makes an interesting symbiosis. In the nature the tapes get even a further twist and look even less like tapes because it looks even less like synthetic material. This nice little forest in the middle of Lüdenscheid has a sympathetic atmosphere and it is really made for this work.
